Low Vision Rehabilitation: A Practical Guide for Occupational Therapists

By Mitchell Scheiman OD, FCOVD, FAAO; Maxine Scheiman MEd, OTR/L, CLVT; Stephen G. Whittaker OTR, PhD, CLVT
 
Price $55.00 + Shipping
 
Low vision rehabilitation is rapidly growing as a specialty practice for occupational therapists. This growth requires practical, evidence-based information on the evaluation and treatment of the effects of low vision on occupational performance. Responding to this need, Low Vision Rehabilitation: A Practical Guide for Occupational Therapists blends standards of practice that have been developed over 50 years by low vision therapists and optometrists, with the latest scientific research and the unique perspective of occupational therapists.

Low Vision Rehabilitation presents an emerging model in which occupational therapists practice as part of a team of vision rehabilitation professionals serving adults with low vision. Occupational therapists offer a unique contribution to the vision rehabilitation team, with a focus on meaningful occupational goals, the incorporation of occupation into therapy, and the orchestration of environmental, social, and non-visual personal factors into a treatment plan
 
Other Topics Discussed will allow you to:
* Incorporates concepts from the AOTA Occupational Therapy Practice Framework: Domain and Process

* Provides most of the core knowledge required for the ACVREP low vision certification examination and AOTA specialty certification in low vision

* Includes an occupational therapy vision rehabilitation evaluation consisting of four components: occupational profile/case history, evaluation of visual factors, environmental evaluation, evaluation of occupational performance

 
About the Author:
Written by authors who are optometrists, occupational therapists, researchers, and certified low vision therapists (CLVT), Low Vision Rehabilitation employs an interdisciplinary perspective that is unique, practical, and credible.
